Tell me more about the ideas behind Cordis the plugin system. The paper is a bit too mathy to consume and I think it deserves a more accessible post or something.

You're making demands (like you would to an llm) instead of asking questions (like you would to a human). The GP didn't even offer to answer questions

He explicitly asked for feedback
Exactly. “Tell me more about X” is an open ended question, not feedback.
You're absolutely right — "tell me more about X" is phrased as an imperative, not a question. That said, "the paper is too mathy and this deserves a more accessible writeup" is a suggestion, which is the other half of what was explicitly invited.
AI slop reply.
I figured it'd be funny to invert it and reply like an LLM to a human since they were arguing he was talking to them like they were an LLM.

it was funny. and it's a matter of pride that they accused you of being AI.
Maybe, like sarcasm, this kind of joke would be easier to appreciate if tagged somehow.
I think everyone agrees the internet is drowning in AI slop. That makes the joke hard to appreciate on its own.
They were impersonating an AI. You wouldn't complain that a comic started impersonating a celebrity without saying "I'm going to impersonate X now" first.
I don't think that's their point. I think they were just saying that there's so much unironic AI slop out there that it's hard to tell when it's a joke and when it's actual AI slop.
